FringeNYC Encores Series

BOTTOM LINE:These are among the finest of performances in this year's NYC Fringe Fest. Through the magic of Encores, you can see these shows in the coming weeks, for a mere $18 a ticket. See below for titles, descriptions and show times. Click on the underlined titles to read the Theasy reviews.

BUT FIRST!! Here are some Theasy Favorites that didn't make the Encores series (we're guessing they had prior obligations or aren't New Yorkers and couldn't stay in town longer). Whatever the reason, we really enjoyed these productions.
